50 Best Sushi Bars in Nashville

“It was my first time eating Poke! I have to say, Beverly was amazing at walking me through all the different combinations and assured me that the salmon was great to eat raw. I went with yozu ponzu salmon. It was out of this world! I will definitely be coming back once I’m in town again. The garlic spam was also incredible. It was a bit pricy I think but otherwise everything was great.“

“Excellent quality sushi and Korean food with the option for tacos and burgers. Free and convenient parking lot (a rarity for Germantown)“

“Went there with wife and kids yesterday (11/2/25) and we loved it. It was my wife's birthday and we wanted something different. It did not disappoint! Food was great, service was flawless, price was acceptable.“

“Truly cannot say enough to express how wonderful and mindful this entire omakase experience was! We had chefs Shane and Gage, and beverage curation by Shaylise (apologies if any name spelling is wrong). They provided not only an informative, special, and mindful meal but also a welcoming and fun atmosphere. From the welcome cocktail to the final dessert everything was personal and delicious. I went in expecting to have a favorite and least favorite course but every single bite was so fantastic and carefully curated, I couldn’t choose between them. We were able to ask questions, talk about each course, and enjoy the company of the staff and our fellow patrons. If you get the chance to treat yourself to this DO IT! No pictures because we were so immersed in the moment, and I hope to visit again to share with more friends and family ❤️“

“This restaurant is run entirely by a single woman. She’s working really hard, and her food is delicious, made with super fresh ingredients. Yes it may be a little slower than some other restaurants with huge staffs, but to me, it’s worth the wait for the cozy feel and good quality. A little kindness and patience goes a long way, yall.“

“Excellent Sushi, wonderful service. Fresh, they don't try to rush like some places would but don't keep you waiting when you do decide what you want. Also, the best tasting authentic japanese soy sauc“

“Door dash,UberEats and Grubhub“

“The chicken Ramen and Nashvegas Sushi Roll was everything I needed. The sushi roll friend then topped with spicy crab 10/10“

“I've drove by many times by and i never see it open, up until now. Perhaps I've been in many places here in Nashville to express my humble opinion but I must say, this is the best and authentic Japanese place I've eaten! May not look fancy and/or out of date but I can assure that the food isn't! Stop by, you would like it I'm sure of it.
When we got there, we saw a few tables with empty plates, this speaks louder that words honestly lol“

“Hands down the best sushi in town. The owner is amazing and always greets me by name when I walk in. She truly makes it feel like home. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you have not tried it yet, you are missing out.“

“Very enjoyable evening and experience. The wasabi martini was amazing. The spring rolls were phenomenal. The chocolate mousse dessert was amazing. Highly recommended. Well worth the cost.“

“My 18 year old Son and I ate there for the first time yesterday. Absolutely delicious with a joyful atmosphere. We certainly will return! Yum!“

“Landon and I (Amanda) had the best time!! Chef Edwin was the absolute best, he not only crafted amazing pieces of fish for us to try but made our dining experience outstanding. Would definitely recommend coming to the Nashville location. Excellent service and incredible food overall!“

“Loved it so much we went every day for a week. Food was great, service great. Would continue to go every day but needed to go back home to Baltimore. Love it love it love it Great experience service was the best and we are world travelers.“

“Clean and bright, easy parking, well rounded menu with lots of choices. Portions sizes for more expensive rolls are generous, lower priced rolls are smaller but all very fresh tasting. Udon soup has a smoky rich taste, lots of noodles with a few raw vegetables. The only negative was the frozen fried tofu which is like a sponge - fresh or fresh fried would taste much better. Good selection of alcohol, the sakes, like the coconut lemongrass one are excellent but pricey. We have visited 4 times and have never been disappointed.“

“We ate here for lunch, and a week later for dinner. Both times the food was wonderful! Perfectly seasoned and served hot and promptly. And we had enough to take home for another meal. The staff was solicitous and knowledgeable. The lunch is a real bargain. Take home and in the restaurant and both taste great! Try it.“

“Absolutely LOVE their sushi!! Recommend #9 and the San Francisco Rolls!! Delicious 😋 10 Stars“

“Oh my gosh. The best sushi I’ve had in Nashville!! And the Chicken Fried Rice….I mean, it will be my go-to comfort food from now on. The Peruvian sushi with the ceviche was my fave, followed closely by the Blink 182. Go. Go now. Why are you still reading this? GO!“

“Their kfc chicken wings are fantastic !! we live in AL and we drove 3 hours to TN to get here, sooo worth it!! The staff are always so Nice and welcoming. 5 stars all day“

“Rock N Roll Sushi in Donelson is amazing! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every time. The staff is super friendly and the vibe is fun and relaxed. Easily one of my favorite spots for sushi — highly recommend!“

“This is the only sushi store in the food hall, located right next to the passageway doors. They have over 30 different types of sushi rolls. Some small dishes, sashimi, desserts and drinks are also available in the menu. Prices range from $8 to $20. They are one of the rare stores that actually has seats all around it. Looks pretty cool to get the view of the kitchen from the seats.

I waited about 5 minutes in the line to put in my order. They use phone numbers to notify customers when order is ready for pick up. Very convenient as visitors can go around while their rolls are getting ready. My order took about 20 minutes to be ready. While I was waiting, I saw other orders coming out, the sushi and snack items looked really nice. The staff members were working super hard in the kitchen to get the huge numbers of orders completed as quickly as possible.

I got the eel sushi roll. It came with 10 pieces. The taste of the eel and rice was decent. The sauce was really good. They also have a lot of ginger and good quantity of wasabi. Overall it was a decent meal, but I wish the wait time wasn’t this long.“

“Edit: it's been years since I've been here while the sushi is still really good. 34 bucks for 2 rolls that only came with 8 pieces is a little too pricey. How 10 pieces for that kind of money.

Service was really awesome and the food was even better. I absolutely loved the ginger salad dressing and the sushi was so yummy. I had the Thriller“

“Excellent meal served by Dakota! Everything was great, served perfectly as ordered, prompt and professionally. We traveled in from Louisville with our only objective to eat at Jeff Ruby's and it did not disappoint. Highly recommended! Thanks again Dakota for a wonderful meal!“

“I have to give you all 5 stars, because of the great accommodations that you all made for my friend who has sensitivities to gluten and is also a vegan. I have 2 friends that have this background and my other friend and I went to a restaurant and they were unable to make accommodations and they wouldn't even use the gluten free sauce she bought brand new from the store. Whereas at Blue Sushi, not only do you all have a dedicated gluten free and vegan menu, you all even were able to adapt other menu items. So, I wanted to thank you on my friends behalf 🙏🏾.“

“After a delayed flight with a shortened layover, we were STARVING. We were able to grab containers of pre-made sushi, take a seat, and were in and out in under 20 minutes. The staff was very friendly, the food was great, and we weren't stuck waiting in line.“

“Delish! Highly recommend!“

“The service is great.The food is eehh.The prices are way over priced and I can’t say it was worth it. They didn’t wow me for what we paid. It wasn’t bad. Just not good.The salmon was way over cooked and too salty.The lettuce wraps were also a bit over priced.It is just a bit too much for us. We are used to resort prices. But wow.Drinks were good! It is really loud in here as well especially at night with people walking around everywhere.“

“We had a few friends out to go to dinner at Sunda. To start this review, Mario and Justin were awesome. It really seems like the staff works very well with Mario and has a good time. Our group gave a some creative license on the food to Justin, who was serving us. The whole experience was one of a kind and truly exceptional. We had a few bottles of wine and some of the sake. Everyone at the table enjoyed what Mario, the manager, suggested for appetizers. We started off with some interesting sushi, spicy edamame, and shishito peppers. One creation called the Great White was beyond belief. Try it if you are in. A few more sushi creations went around the table were the salmon crudo, the yuzu tuna, the tuna truffle pizza, and the smoke show (which was a cool little presentation). My wife had the Tom Yum Sea Bass which was short of amazing. I had the pancit canton with chicken, which was the simplest of all of the adult dishes. Justin brought out a huge "boat" of sushi for one of my friends. It was probably one of the most adventurous and tasty sushi dishes I have ever seen. If you have kids, you know it means a ton when your child really loves their dinner. Mario suggested a salmon bento box, of which the kid loved every bite. The lychee mochi ice cream was a great dessert to end with. Mario sat with us for a few discussing the food and my child trusted his opinion on food so much she tried her first, second and third salmon nigiri! To finish we had the Ube pie and the bibingka cake because I like Ube and Filipino food. The pie was great but the bibingka cake took the show. It had an amazing flavor profile. The service was probably the best I have ever had. The staff's knowledge of the menu and what will pair well was on point. We cannot wait to go back after the holidays! Billy Dec did an amazing job with this restaurant and definitely has the right staff for Nashville. Be adventurous with your food and enjoy your experience here. You will not regret it! Mario and Justin-- appreciate the hospitality and awesome experience!“

“Beautiful presentation of food and kind staff!“

“We tried this lovely and delicious restaurant last night. The first thing I learned was they have two menus- one for sushi/sashimi and one for Thai cuisine. This review is about the Thai menu choices. Their menu is available online. There are many different and delicious sounding rice and noodle dishes with veggies that you can order with your choice of chicken, meat, seafood, or tofu. Their diverse menu also offers a tempting selection of fried rice dishes, appetizers, soups, and desserts. They ask you to let them know if you would like your dish to have some heat, and how much. Prices are comparable with or even less than other Thai restaurants I’ve been to. My brother chose red curry, made with coconut milk and mouth wateringly good with veggies, chicken, and jasmine rice. I had pho, a Vietnamese soup. The huge and certainly dinner-size bowl of oh so good luscious broth was filled with noodles, veggies, pork that I chose, and basil, bean sprouts, and slices of jalapeño pepper and lime on the side to be added as desired. I dumped them all in and dug in. Ummm umm SO good, YUM! We had mango sticky rice for dessert. If you like mangos, I’d say this dessert is not to be missed! The rice IS sticky. In fact it’s stuck together- sweet and especially delicious with the mango. The staff was extremely helpful, welcoming and warm and friendly. They enthusiastically answered my questions. We ate in the restaurant. Very clean and attractive. I completely recommend it! We really enjoyed the place, the people, AND the food. Try it!“

“Good food and always consistant.“

“Hands down the best sushi in town. The owner is amazing and always greets me by name when I walk in. She truly makes it feel like home. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you have not tried it yet, you are missing out.“

“First trimester has me limited on food. Last night I was feeling so awful. Nothing heavy sounded good. Looked up places near us & they came up. It was 10/10 what my belly needed. The sticky rice was amazing , the miso soup was SO good. Got sushi too & didn't get a chance to eat it but excited for it today. Also, appreciate their side options. My kiddo wouldn't eat a full meal but the side option allowed us to get her something she actually would. 10/10 will eat again when in the area! Also appreciated the to go option & the wait time wasn't bad.“

“Been meaning to go here for years. Finally did. What an incredible lunch deal! I can’t wait to return. Without a doubt this is the best sushi spot on this end of town. Sushi train definitely ain’t it!“

“Sushi-San truly went above and beyond for us. I accidentally made our reservation for the wrong date, and on one of the busiest nights of the year! New Year’s Eve! The incredibly kind and accommodating staff (wish I knew all their names) still managed to fit my husband, our baby, and me in. I was beyond grateful for their generosity and understanding. It was my husband’s birthday, and had they not helped us, the night honestly would have been a disaster (NYE restaurant crowds are no joke!). On top of the outstanding hospitality, the food was absolutely phenomenal! It’s fresh, delicious, and brought out quickly despite how busy they were. We decided to get the soft-serve on our way out and it was the perfect ending to our evening!! 10/10 experience. We highly recommend Sushi-San and will definitely be back. Next time, I promise I’ll double-check the reservation date!“

“Super delightful! They stayed open for our party of 12 for an extra hour. They were so nice and accommodating! The food and show was amazing! Definitely will be back. I think her name is Diane, she was amazing! Only thing I would suggest is using better booze in your mixed drinks!!“

“This place is absolutely amazing and such kid friendly. I loved the food it was so good, and this is the first time my little Timmy actually ate international food I was so stoked. The service was amazing my server was Miki, I also think she is the owner, she was just amazing and so nice to me and my family. Also, this place was really clean. I give this place my full recommendation. 20/10“

“The crab fried rice is the absolute best and more importantly, Trever, the manager has the best customer service skills! Absolutely love this place!“

“I had a great time for my 30th birthday! Excellence customer service from our server (kitty). Great atmosphere, clean bathrooms, and awesome sushi! I tried the fire crunch specialty roll 10/10 recommend! The spring roll starters were also excellent!“

“This fried chicken we got was next level DELICIOUS, from the breading, to the chicken seasoning, and that special sauce it came with. Yum!!! Highly recommended! The portion is large and priced reasonably. We found this place online and was skeptical at first since it’s not a traditional set up restaurant, turned out to be such a hidden gem! You can find many different restaurants in this food hall. We can’t wait to come back and try more food soon“

“Yesterday we had a fabulous dinner at KOI SUSHI THAI, EAST in Nashville….. it was wonderful! We started with Squid Salad and Gyoza then ate our way through totally yummy Crab Bang, YumYum, Eel Nigiri, White Tuna, & Sweet Shrimp… crunchy and delicious! Then we topped it off with Mochi ice cream! Every bite was better than we’ve had in a long time on the road! We had a “Trainee” server…and the rest of their friendly staff helped her provide superior attention! So glad we found KOI SHSHI THAI early in our stay herein Nashville! We’ll be back!“

“7pm on a Saturday night, not busy but slow service. The goyza tasted "fishy" (do they put seaweed in the goyza here? That seems strange if they do), the sushi was ok but was unevenly cut leading to some comically large bites. The ramen comes with a fried egg, which just doesn't hit as well as a marinated ramen egg and the katsu pork I'm pretty sure what just a sysco pre-breaded pork chop which wasn't especially tender or flavorful. I have had better experiences here in the past but it fell way short of the mark this time. Also they seem to have some strange obsession with putting asparagus in almost everything, so if you love asparagus this may be your jam but I don't find it works great in sushi rolls.“

“There are so many people who work in the food industry that hate their job and they let you know with how they communicate. Charles at Eastern Peak is the opposite. He loves his job and it shows in his service and care. So refreshing. Thanks Charles!“

“Food here is amazing and I love the coupon they have on the back of my local Kroger Register tapes. Great to save money now I can go more often. Thank you“

“Best Philly roll anywhere. Always big and tight not falling apart like other places nearby. I refuse to go anywhere else for cali rolls as well!“

“I came here cause I was looking for a new place to try and man was it worth it !! The people here especially the owner are so friendly and sweet! The food has very good flavor, and the hibachi is soo good you need to try it. The desserts there like the arroz con leche were sweet and delicious! Also the restaurant is clean and I think that is making it a 10 times better experience !! Will definitely recommend and I will be coming back for suree !!“

“Incredible food, the Pho is the best and the sushi is really good also. Great food.“

“The Hibachi Grill was really fun! Our grill master was very entertaining! The fillet and chicken was cooked to perfection! Our server was great! I'm rating my first time 5 stars!“

“Amazing food and great service.“

“Great Thai place!! Owners are super friendly and everything Ive tried has been fantastic.“
